THE MORMON CASE.

The case involving the right of the
United States Territorial Court, of Utah,
to appoint a receiver for the property of
the Mormon Church has been argued at
Salt Lake City. Some curious arguments
were made in behalf of the Mormous. The
principle seemed to be that the United
States government acquiesqued so long in
the wrong of pOlygamy that legal assent to
it is to be presumed. Unfortunately
there is some foundation for this argument
rotten as it is. The government has sadly
neglected its duty, but the MOrmOns' case
must be very desperate if 1t rests on the
ground that the governments failure to
suppress crime gives the criminals license
to accumulate property-Mormon Church
property, for instanee-to be used for pro-
pagating the eyl. There is no cOnstitu-
tional limitation of the legislative powers
of the government over territories and the
United States authorities are at liberty to
repair the wrong resulting from the care
lessness Of Congress. They may now divert
the use Of the Norman Church property 50
that it may not hereafter be breeding
place for law-breakers. This struggle
against the appointment Of receiver,
which is provided for in the TUCKER-ED-
MUNDs act, is the last resort Of desperate
men who are trying every device to save
the system of pOlygamy.

The Woman's Christian Temperance

of large and variegated stock OF inlOrma-

Bile traits and habits. The est:mable lady
who superintends railroad employees in
Illinois Is panied to be forced to make the
official report that many OF the cabOOses
are decorated with 'smutty pictures" and
that the way in which the railroad men 'tlirt
with girls" who come to the stations is

things differently in Japan, where the

FORAKER is likely soon TO become mani

says he doesn't think SHERMAN cuts any
figure in the race for the Republican NOM

SPEAKING of the contemplate lie that
Governor FORAKER has been uttering
from the stump TO the effect that Mr.
POWELL had not paid his taxes, Hon. S.
X. DONAvIN, of Delaware, q personal
riend and neighbOr of Mr.. POWELL. says:
Mr.. POWELL in June last called at the
county treasurer'S Office and paid his
taxes. When Governor FORAKER charged
him with the nonpayment of them, Mr..
POWELL came to the city, and going to
the treasurer's office asked him what taxes
of his remained unpaid. The treasurer
looked over the books and replied that
there did not appear to be any. He after
ward found a charge; the tax certificate
had been taken from the book and WAS
lying in q drawer. Ii should have been
presented to him in June when he paid
his taxes, but was not; that is the whole
matter" Knowing these facts, Governor
FORAKER still goes about wagging his
long ears and braying from the stump:
Powell. pay your taxes ~

GOVERNOR FORAKER has not gained
any votes by his persistent and unreason-
able abuse of President Cleveland
Clerelaad PidmdeaIer.
This is true as gospel The people like
CLEVELAND. There are many of them in
Ohio who usually vote the Republican
ticket, who will not vote for FORAKER
because he has gone out of his way to
assail and abuse the President and even to
drag the name of his wife into the political
mire.

the United States in Article V. of an

that a conference was held there yesterday
and would be continued to-day, but nothing
could be learned of the nature of the matter

ever, that John H. Inman will figure largely
in Central affairs before long. Reports
from interior Georgia towns state that there
is demand fHg Central stock. There is
report that there is little lack of harmony
in the directory-the Calhouns favoring
the sale of the Central to the
Richmond Terminal people, while the
other directors object. OF course this report
must be taken for what it is worth. AT the
close of the conference to-day it will prob
ably be known what its object was and
what was done at the meeting. That the
conference is an important one there can be
no doubt, and that there is some movement

How Young Lawyer Captured
Would-Be Burglar.


Mr.. A. N. Martin, Jr., young attorney,
living on the south side of CASTOR street,
two doors west of Lincoln, had quite an
adventure last night, or rather early this
morning. Mr. Martin and Miss Martin, his
sister, were out during the evening visiting
and did not return till late. just before II
o'clock Mr.. Martin proceeded upstairs to his
room to retire. AS he lit the gas he heard
slight noise in the closet, as if O PERSONS
feet were shuffied together on the floor.
Snatching a revolver from the bureau he
opened the closet door and demanded who
was there "It's only me, boss, came forth
in tremulous accents from the dark re-
cess of the closet, and ''only me" emerged
in the person Of an ebony-hued, muscular
negro. 1t was the work of a moment to tie
the hands of his rather intrusive visitor.
and, with the muzzle Of a good 3S-calibre at
his head, the negro was compelled to de-
scend the stairs. Miss Martin had heard
the noise, slight as it was,
and screamed for help. But her brother
treasured her and messenger was sent to
the barracks for an officer. VINO soon came
and relieved Mr.. Martin OF his police
duties. On being questioned at the barracks
the negro gave his name as Thomas Glen or
Blen, and pretended utter ignorance of what
had happened. He also said that he thought
he was at his own house. His actions were
very strange, and he tried TO carry out the
idea that he was crazy. He will answer for
his alteration of mindn Mt the Mayors

THE JASPER MONUMENT.
The Date of dwelling Postponed at the
Request of the Artist


Request of the Artist.
A special meeting of the Jasper Monu-
ment Association was held at the residence
of Capt. John Flannery, and a letter from
Mr.. Doyle, the artist, was read Mr.. Doyle
asked that the day of unwilling be post
poned until Feb. 81 He stated that he could
have the monument ready by Oct. 0, but to
do so he might have to neglect some of the
minor details. This monument will be one
of the handsomest in the country. The sub
iect has inspired the artist, and he has Gre
ated one of the most beautiful designs that
was ever cast in bronze, and worked it
out with artistic skill and the
association agrees with Mr. Doyle
that the question of unwilling the monu-
ment a few months earlier or later should
not be permitted TO hazard the merit of the
statue when completed. The photograph of
a model, i'll which the position of the flag is
changed, was submitted and unanimously
approved. In the former model the flag
hung behind the the figure and obscured
it when viewed from the rear, but in the
model which was accepted the flag staff is
grasped in the left hand, the left arm out
stretched, and the right hand is pressed TO
the breast over the wound. The statue
will be all the more interesting as it will be
historically correct, the face being the only
thing that is the work of the artists imagi-
nation.
